The area was annexed by Atlanta in 1870 and developed until a fire destroyed businesses and homes in 1917. After the fire, the neighborhood deteriorated in value and maintenance as middle class residents moved away and were replaced by people at or near the poverty line. Most of the structures in the neighborhood were destroyed during the 1960's and 1970's in urban renewal projects. New housing was constructed during the decades that followed, and Georgia Power Company chose the area for its headquarters in 1979.Atlanta, Ga. : Kenan Research Center, Atlanta History CenterAtlanta History Center2006Color transparenciesStillImagehttp://album.atlantahistorycenter.com/store/Products/80725-bedford-pine.aspximage/jpeg1 photograph : col. ; 35mm.Bedford-Pine Neighborhood Photograph Collection, Kenan Research Center, Atlanta History Center, Atlanta, GA1971-01Atlanta (Ga.)Fulton County (Ga.)Bedford Pine (Atlanta, Ga.)This material is protected by copyright law.
